Everyone knows Jules (Gardner) Howes if you live in Annapolis. She's been a fixture in the restaurant industry for going on 40 years. She's a wife, a mother, a friend, confidant, comedienne, sports fanatic, Jeopardy aficionado, and baby whisperer to many and all.

Recently, as many may have heard, she ended up in the hospital with a heart condition that has prevented her from working. Her progress has enabled her to come home, but she hasn't been able to return to work yet, and when she does, it will be in a limited capacity for the foreseeable future.

We would like to ask our loving community of friends to help cover medical and living expenses while she goes through this ordeal. After all everyone, this is Jules we’re talking about!!!
